Patient's question:
I've always wanted a child with my husband, but we've been unable to conceive until now. Now that I'm finally pregnant, my family treats me like a national treasure and always protects me. Last time, my family suggested I get a 4D ultrasound, but I had a 3D ultrasound just a few days ago and felt it wasn't necessary. Now that I'm 34 weeks pregnant, is it necessary to get a 4D ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, it is essential to have regular health check-ups. Generally, a 4D ultrasound examination is performed around the 6th month of pregnancy. However, if you are in the 34th week of pregnancy, there is no need to do a 4D ultrasound examination. At this stage, the fetus is already quite large, and the space inside the uterus is limited, making it difficult to conduct a thorough ultrasound examination and observe the various organs and facial structures of the fetus. If the opportunity to examine has been missed, there is no need to do so anymore. Instead, you can have a regular B ultrasound examination to check.
